These are the bestselling coats on the high street right now
Goodbye bare legs, farewell floaty dresses. It’s the coat’s time of year again; the season where we suddenly remember that outerwear is the ultimate outfit-maker, and nothing makes you feel pulled together quite like a great coat.
Chances are you’ve already dug yours out of the back of the cupboard, although I did see a man wearing just a T-shirt in Yorkshire at the weekend, so maybe I’m just a bit soft. However, the temperatures are definitely dropping, so if you are in the market for a new coat this year, it’s helpful to find out which ones are flying off the shelves – either because you want to go with the crowd, or against it.
That’s why we’ve asked top retailers to reveal their bestselling coats this season, from peacoats to puffers, city coats to faux fur crops.
Zara
The slouchy, oversized shape and beige colour of this coat make it bang on trend for autumn/winter 2024.
Not content with everyone wearing leopard print jeans, it seems animal print coats are also having a moment.
Marks & Spencer
If you're looking to inject some colour into the grey winter months, you can't go far wrong with this single-breasted coat.
This coat has been particularly popular on social media, according to the M&S PR team. It's sold out online, but it's worth checking in store for more stock.
With 33 five-star reviews online, this longline trench is clearly doing something right. It's a classic design you can reach for year after year.
Hush
Halfway between a blazer and a coat, this Italian wool design is back for 2024 by popular demand.
The high-end, natural fabric means this coat is super warm for winter, and the perfect shape for layering with knitwear.
Anthropologie
Burgundy is without a doubt the colour of the season, which is no doubt why this coat has been flying out of Anthropologie stores.
Faux fur strikes again! This plush coat has an oversized shawl collar and cropped length - great for wearing with your Christmas party dresses.
We love a statement coat, and red is the ultimate head-turner.
H&M
This style of coat remains very much in fashion, featuring a soft fabric with leather-look trims along the edges.
This cream coat is giving us serious Cameron-Diaz-in-The-Holiday vibes, although go for the brown or black shades if you have kids and/or dogs.
Jigsaw
Chocolate brown is a softer, more flattering colour to wear than black, so offers a great update for your everyday coat. While Jigsaw's coats are not cheap, they're certainly a good investment in terms of longevity and classic style.
John Lewis
Made with premium Italian wool, this checked coat is stylish and eye-catching, while still easy to match with any outfit.
From John Lewis's more affordable ANYDAY range, this classic, navy coat is long enough to keep you snug all winter.
Phase Eight
It's that burgundy back again! A belted style is always flattering, and great for wrapping yourself up against the wind.
Phase Eight outerwear buyer Katy Wilson says this coat has 'a beautifully fitted, feminine shape and smart in an Italian wool blend.'
Uniqlo
Available in olive, green, beige or black, this coat has a water-repellent finish and high-performance padding made with hollow yarn traps the air for extra warmth.
